non-HDCP compliant display problem

31-03-2007, 20:11

Just purchased a dvd film The Fog, intending to play on my Philips dvd player with HDMI connected to my Techosonic tv, I got the the above message.

I have played various other dvd films with no problem.

Any advise?

Presumably your TV doesn't carry the HD Ready logo?, if it does it should be compliant. Do both your TV and DVD player have component sockets?, if so try those.

Yes it does, strange thing is, I played other discs with no problem.

The disc may be triggering copy protection on the digital link so is being blocked where as other DVD's don't, anything on the sleeve to indicate such?

Sounds the most likely thing, but I'm torn, wouldn't a huge stink have been made about this? Perhaps this is the tip of the iceberg

We've seen some broadcasts on satellite refusing to be recorded onto DVDr via SKY+ thanks to copy protection flag being tripped, this may be the same thing and only affecting some people.
It could simply be a handshaking failure between the two units, the TV has a fully compliant HDMI input?

I assume the DVD is R2 and that the Philips is scaling the image via the HDMI link to a HDMI input on the TV or are you just sending 576p?
As Nigel says try component and good old RGB scart and perhaps try the disk on another player, if still no luck then contact the distributor, they may not be aware of a fault which may be source/display specific like the early days of DVD when some disks simply did not like some players.

Hi, the dvd is region 2, and I am using HDMI link to a HDMI input.

So have you tried it via component leads like I suggested earlier?.
